Over the next 11 weeks I’ll dig deep into the 2014 Coachella Music Festival lineup, featuring one band per day. The purpose of this piece is to assist in difficult decisions that inevitably you’ll need to make, as well as, serve as a fun countdown to Coachella Week. Note: All bands appear in a completely random order… Enjoy and let the countdown begin!
Band 1 = Austra
Performing = Friday
Austra are a Canadian electronica trio that formed in 2009. The Toronto based outfit has released two albums to critical acclaim. The band is named after the Latvian goddess of light, which coincidentally happens to be the middle name of frontwoman Katie Stelmanis. Prior to Austra, Stelmanis was a member of the band Galaxy. Last Friday the band released a video for the track “Hurt Me Now” (check it out below).
Studio Albums:
Feel It Break (2011)
Olympia (2013)
